OMFG!~!!!!
just saw him perform for the first time on saturday... he said over the air it was his first time in WI.
BESTEST SHOW EVAR!!!11
he was broadcasting over the air talking while doing stuff I didn't knwo remote control planes could do. he did this "harrier" thing near the end of the show, literally hovered the plane and manuevered around like a helicopter. I think him narrating really added to the show: "ok folks here we go Sean screams over the radio: "MAN I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!"
:aok
It was the most entertaining display I have ever seen (though I have not seen a ton)
<> Sean Tucker, I envy your job! I can't say enough good things about the whole air show and especially Sean's demonstrations.
:aok

I've seen tucker 3 times and once in a warm up after hours..
The guy is just sick awesome. See if you can find an article about when he had to bail out of his Challenger earlier this year due to stuck control lines... Awesome piloting.

Sean Tucker (http://www.furballunderground.com/Guest/Golfer/tucker03.wmv) put on a great show at the Wings over Pittsburgh. He had a replacement challenger and performed some new and some of the old maneuvers he'd done in routines before.
A spectacle as always. Above is Dayton 2003 in the original Challenger.
NTSB Identification: DFW06LA094
14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Tuesday, April 04, 2006 in Coushatta, LA
Aircraft: Aviation Specialties Unlimited Challenger II, registration: N260HP
Injuries: 1 Uninjured.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed.
On April 4, 2006, approximately 1030 central daylight time, a single-engine Aviation Specialties Unlimited, Challenger II experimental airplane, N260HP, was destroyed when it impacted terrain during an uncontrolled descent after the pilot parachuted from the airplane near Coushatta, Louisiana. The airplane was registered to Pitts S2B, LLC and was operated by a private individual. The commercial pilot, sole occupant of the airplane, was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal aerobatic flight. The local flight originated from the Red River Airport, near Coushatta, Louisiana.
A member of the pilot's ground crew stated during an initial telephone report that the pilot departed the airport and proceeded to a local aerobatic practice area. While performing aerobatic maneuvers, the airplane experienced a failure of the elevator control system. The pilot was able re-establish pitch control with the aid of the elevator control trim and managed to maneuver the airplane to a safe altitude over an inhabited area. Once over a safe area, the pilot elected to exit the airplane and deploy his parachute. There were no reported ground injuries

I've seen his show and it is indeed a great display. The only fault I had with it was the narator at the time which was his son. It seemed he had an obligation to mention that the pilot's name was Sean D. Tucker about every 5 or 7 seconds. It had to be in every sentence. I just wanted to be able to turn off the PA system and enjoy the flying. It got old after a bit. Is this still going on?

not on this show... said the name maybe 3 times, but then went to actual cockpit radio... then sean narrated the last 10 minutes of the routine himself
he was pointing out kids in the crowd, saying "hey boy in the red shirt and blue hat, wave man!" :aok
